Half-time conclusion:
After 45 minutes, Chelsea are leading 1-0 in the semi-final second leg of the League Cup against Tottenham Hotspur and are close to reaching the final! From the start the Blues tried to control the game and radiated a lot more goal danger. Rüdiger rewarded his team after 18 minutes after a mount corner with the 1-0. The Spurs, on the other hand, did not get enough offensively, in addition to a Højbjerg shot (32nd), before the break there was a supposed penalty for the hosts, which was rightly withdrawn. In the second half, Tottenham now need three hits to force the penalty shoot-out. See you soon!

The Blues want to take the lead into halftime and let the ball run well.

21:31
Marriner lets play for another three minutes.

Official stoppage time (minutes): 3
44
21:30
Lo Celso takes the due free kick from 18 meters in the half-right position. Rüdiger deflects the shot with his head to the side.
43
21:28
And so it is! Instead of a penalty, there is only a free kick for Tottenham. The correct decision!
42
21:28
the VAR reports because the offense may have been outside the penalty area.
40
21:25
Penalty for Tottenham? Rüdiger straddles Højbjerg, who was on the way to the right into the box. Andre Marriner points first to the point.
39
21:25
Rüdiger almost gives the Spurs a big chance because he plays a hair-raising bad pass into Lo Celso’s feet during the build-up. The central defender ironed out his mistake himself and got the ball back in a duel with Kane.
37
21:22
At the Spurs, you can get through midfield quickly with just a few contacts. In the end, Lucas Moura sends Emerson Royal over to the right into the box. From an acute angle, however, his conclusion is too powerless and ends up right in Kepa’s arms.
34
21:20
Werner once moved to the left wing and carefully lifts the ball to the penalty spot. Lukaku doesn’t get the header well pressed and the attempt clearly misses the post to the right.
32
21:17
Dangerous! Doherty brings the ball flat on the near post from the left, where Kane’s shot is initially blocked. But the rebound ends up at Højbjerg, who starts to chop on the left at the edge of the penalty area. Still slightly deflected, the leather just flies past the right angle!
30th
21:15
Hudson-Odoi shifts the game to the right side to the advanced Christensen, who spoons the ball into the box. But Gollini is on the leather in front of Lukaku and grabs the cross out of the air.
27
21:13
So far, the Spurs have simply not done enough offensive. The Conte-Elf is having a hard time developing a goal threat.
24
21:09
Hudson-Odoi pulls into the center from the left and fires at the far corner from just under 20 meters. Gollini fends off the touchdown well to the side.
23
21:08
The tour for the guests is absolutely fine up to this point, because the Tuchel-Elf is simply more dangerous and does more for the game.
20th
21:06
Tottenham would now have to score at least three goals to prevent elimination. The away goals rule does not exist in the League Cup.
18th
21:03
Goal for Chelsea FC, 0: 1 by Antonio Rüdiger
Chelsea extends its lead in addition! Mount sharply circles a corner from the left to the six-yard space. Gollini comes out, but miscalculates and fists next to the ball. So Rüdiger comes behind to the header and puts the ball on the lower edge of the crossbar, from where it hits the net to 1-0!
16
21:01
Strong action by Werner, who prevails in tempo dribbling against Sánchez and pulls to the baseline. His flat pass into the box slips to the second post to the advanced Sarr, but his shot attempt is blocked by Emerson Royal.
13th
20:59
Now the Spurs also book the first goal completion. Lucas Moura tries it from 22 meters on the left, but his low shot misses a good distance to the right.
11th
20:56
The first big chance of the game has Chelsea! Again it is Rüdiger who hits a high ball into the opponent’s penalty area. Lukaku maintains the pass against Davies, but fails alone in front of Gollini due to a strong foot defense by the goalkeeper.
9
20:54
A long ball from Rüdiger into the top is cleared by Sánchez right in front of Werner’s feet, who tries to outsmart Gollini from a distance with a cheeky lifter. In the end, however, the ball just goes over the bar.
7th
20:52
Harry Kane takes over the execution, but gets stuck in the wall. Kicked weakly.
6th
20:52
Lo Celso is brought down by Christensen just before the penalty area. This is an excellent free-kick chance from 19 yards on the left.
4th
20:49
The Blues want to secure control of the game immediately. Tottenham will initially withdraw into their own half.

20:46
The ball is rolling! Chelsea have toasted in blue jerseys, Tottenham are in white jerseys.
20:34
In the FA Cup, both teams were harmless at the weekend. While Tottenham struggled a little more in the 3-1 win against third division Morecambe, Chelsea moved into the next round with a 5-1 win against Chesterfield FC from the fifth division.
20:22
As for the guests, Tuchel made four personnel changes compared to the 2-0 win a week ago. Christensen, Kovačić, Hudson-Odoi and Werner start for Marcos Alonso, Saúl, Ziyech and Havertz.
20:14
Compared to the first leg, Conte has made three changes to the starting line-up. Gollini moves between the posts for Lloris while Winks for Skipp and Lo Celso instead of Son are there.
20:05
The hosts of Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand want to try everything again to turn the first leg result. “We have to try to give everything tomorrow, to show great desire and great will to fight,” said coach Antonio Conte. Still, the Spurs are of course aware that the task will be extremely difficult. In any case, a more courageous demeanor is required if the move into the final is to succeed.
19:54
Chelsea FC starts the second leg with a much better starting position. Because the Blues won the first leg 2-0 a week ago. The Londoners dominated the game for the entire 90 minutes and fully deserved to prevail. Kai Havertz and a strange own goal by Japhet Tanganga ensured the CFC win. Despite the comfortable starting position, London trainer Thomas Tuchel warned of the Spurs in advance and again asked his squad to give a concentrated performance in order to secure the final.
19:40
Welcome to the semi-final second leg of the English League Cup! From 8:45 p.m., Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea FC will play the first finalists in this year’s competition.
